Louisville Metro Police Department

The Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) began operations on January 6, 2003, as part of the creation of the consolidated city-county government in Louisville, Kentucky. It was formed by the merger of the Jefferson County Police Department and the Louisville Division of Police. The Louisville Metro Police Department is headed by Chief Steve Conrad. LMPD divides Jefferson County into eight patrol divisions and operates a number of special investigative and support units. In popular culture, the LMPD was the lead agency investigating a serial killer in an episode of Criminal Minds (Season 5, Ep. 2, "Haunted").

Louisville neighborhoods

This is a list of official neighborhoods in Louisville, Kentucky. Like many older American cities, Louisville has well-defined neighborhoods, many with well over a century of history as a neighborhood.

The oldest neighborhoods are the riverside areas of Downtown and Portland (initially a separate settlement), representing the early role of the river as the most important form of commerce and transportation. As the city expanded, peripheral neighborhoods like Butchertown, Phoenix Hill, Russell, Shelby Park, Smoketown and others were developed to house and employ the growing population.

The second and current Metro Mayor is Greg Fischer (D), who entered office on January 3, 2011. The Metro Council consists of twenty-six seats, corresponding to single-member districts apportioned by population throughout the county. All of the seats are for four-year terms. Using a staggered process, half (thirteen) of the seats are reelected every two years. The council is chaired by a Council President, currently David Yates (D), who is elected by the council members annually. Democrats currently have a 65.4% (17 to 9 seat) majority on the council.
